The Intelligent Investor

Warren Buffett first read this book at the age of 19. He has said about The Intelligent Investor, “What I’m doing today, at age 76, is running things through the same thought process I learned from the book I read at 19.”

What’s so important for the young adult to understand is successful investing isn’t about choosing what companies they know and like. Instead, it’s about having a process and a way to think about a business that will determine if its a good or bad investment.

Young adults will be happy to know, the principles learned in The Intelligent Investor are still widely used today by the world’s most successful hedge fund managers. This book received the most recommendations from the world’s top investors and financial institutions.
